Morphology

This species resembles F. eumorpha in the shape of the lamina, but differs in the absence of dense minute whitish hairs covering the areoles, the indumentum of the stipules with only one type of hairs, and the smaller fig receptacle with pale brown indumentum. Moreover, the tepals of the pistillate flowers bear only few hairs or are glabrous.
